Prepare New Drain with Sealants
At 3:56 in
Easy Replacement Of A Bathtub Drain!
What happens here
Separate the new drain stopper from the drain body. Take a small amount of plumber's putty (Sta Put brand is shown) and roll it into a thin rope-like shape, then apply it around the underside of the new drain's flange. Next, apply pipe dope (Megaloc brand is shown) to the rubber gasket that sits below the tub. Also apply pipe dope to the threads of the new drain body. Finally, wrap the threads of the new drain body with Teflon tape (PTFE thread seal tape) to ensure a tight seal and facilitate easier removal in the future.
Goal: Prepare the new drain body by applying plumber's putty to the flange, and pipe dope and Teflon tape to the threads for a watertight seal and easier future removal.
